Islam is the religion of apartheid in the Middle East

Phylis Chesler:
Israel has long been accused of being an apartheid nation state--and a state involved in "ethnic cleansing."
Pure propaganda! This is a brazen Big Lie.

The largest practitioner of both gender and religious apartheid in the world is Islam or Islamism.

Religious apartheid exists when the dominant state religion allows no other religion to exist and flourish. For example, Muslim countries do not allow churches to be built, Christian insignia to be displayed; Muslim mobs and governments destroy existing churches or convert them into mosques.

Today, living Christians are persecuted, tortured and murdered in the name of Islam all across the Muslim world. Oddly, on April 16th of this year, (for the second time) the Pope offered no solace and no asylum to persecuted Christian; he publicly offered to take in a symbolic number of Muslim refugees into the Vatican.

For many centuries, Muslims have also forcibly converted, persecuted, and massacred Hindus, the "wrong" kind of Muslim, (the Shia v Sunni war is quite intense), ex-Muslims, Muslim dissidents, Baha'i, Zoroastrians, and Buddhists. Afghanistan was once a mainly Buddhist country until Islamic Jihad ravaged the land and massacred the Buddhist monks who refused to convert to Islam.

Jews? We are pariahs, "monkeys," evil-doers --and this is the only reason that Israel, the Jewish state, has been under attack for more than one hundred years in the Jewish Holy Land. It is the reason that Muslim mobs and Muslim leaders have consistently exiled, taxed, tortured and murdered Arab, North African, and Central Asian Jews.

Israel allows Arab Muslims and Arab Christians to live in Israel--they are Israeli citizens, some serve in the Knesset, sit on the Israeli Supreme Court, work as physicians, nurses, and researchers in Jewish hospitals.

Palestinians envision Shomron and Judea aka the West Bank as a place that must become "yudenrein," free of Jews. Thisis ethnic cleansing. The entire Muslim Middle East is now "yudenrein," just as Gaza now is. This is ethnic cleansing.

She is right about Islam.  Its followers are some of the biggest religious bigots in the history of the world.   Those who commit mass murder in the name of Islam are Islamic religious bigots.  It is a mistake to pretend otherwise.
